<b>Description: DbEnv::strerror</b>
<p>The DbEnv::strerror method returns an error message string corresponding
to the error number <b>error</b> parameter.</p>
<p>This function is a superset of the ANSI C X3.159-1989 (ANSI C) <b>strerror</b>(3) function.  If the error number <b>error</b> is greater than or
equal to 0, then the string returned by the system function
<b>strerror</b>(3) is returned.  If the error number is less than
0, an error string appropriate to the corresponding Berkeley DB library error
is returned. See
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html">Error returns to applications</a>
for more information.</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>error</b><ul compact><li>The <b>error</b> parameter is the error number for which an error message
string is wanted.</ul>
